Where were tigers originally found in India?

Tigers were originally found throughout India, but their range has significantly declined over the years due to habitat loss, poaching, and human conflict.

Here's a breakdown of where they historically roamed:

* North India: The Himalayas, Terai region, and the northern parts of the Gangetic plains.

* Central India: The central Indian highlands, including the Vindhya and Satpura ranges.

* East India: The Eastern Ghats, the Sundarbans (mangrove forests), and the Brahmaputra Valley.

* South India: The Western Ghats, the Nilgiris, and the Eastern Ghats.

While tigers can be found in national parks and sanctuaries across India today, their original range was much broader and encompassed a greater variety of habitats.
